That’s it. rebellion over. Back in the fold now – all it took was bend over Howard Dean and they submitted.
I have been taking screen shots of the most popular titles in B0botland because I knew the rebellion wouldn’t last long.
Here’s B0botland 2 weeks, days ago, the BEFORE shots
.and
AFTER : (Dean selling out, massive amount of shills on the site) – the screen shot of today
The graph referred to in the first title is from Andrew Sullivan on health care costs in US vs the world. A justification for the health Club for men Only one person points that HCR doesn’t help – maybe hurts with that.
The second line in the third title is
I will not be taking part in any effort to dismantle his presidency.
Note that it’s the same poster at #1 in the “before” shot.
No one in the Lieberman thread brings out this headline
Obama Ordered U.S. Military Strike on Yemen Terrorists
None of the 5263 people reading this found that article.
Fingers tight in the ears, going la-la-la..

The message control is almost complete.
I was lucky enough to catch the birth & death of one of the worst BOT attack threads I’ve ever seen. The thing started out like a typical “torch the witch” Jane Hamsher thread, but it ended with the filthy BOT-creature lashing out violently with anyone who disagreed with it. It was study in pathology with over 200 responses, that was so vile, so demented, and broke so many rules that the mods completely disappeared it…but suspciously, the BOT-creature lives to post another day.

Looks like the call to crush Hamsher by any means possible came straight out of the WH:
There’s a very slick PR letter posted online that’s being furiously retweeted by DC political operatives. I wasn’t going to address it, but the editor of the Nation Katrina vanden Heuvel started pushing it. It becomes widely disseminated based on her role as a validator within the progressive community, and that necessitated a reply.

Good for Jane Hamsher; Katrina sounds like an idiot lately. That’s what happens when you start carrying water for the WH.

Boy, they’ve really got the psychological manipulation down cold. Give rebels a chance to panic and vent, then when they’ve gotten it out of their system, reel them gently back into the delusion. Repeat as needed.

Madison Ave. uses emotions (generally quite primitive) to sell everything and anything 0bama and the Dem are nothing more than a brand — or you can think of them as a sport team and the spectacle of team loyalty. “Take one for the team and the use of that emotional word — progressive — where the hell did that word come from. Support the Progressive “agenda”– what the hell is this progressive agenda and who the hell is “setting” this agenda?
Axel rod is a sells man — he creates sales campaigns and then figures out the emotional triggers to sell the brand.
All they need are the figure out the emotional triggers — the other side is calling 0bama a Socialist — which he is not — he’s a frat boy Corporatist — just like his big brother GWB is a frat boy Corporatist — neither of these guy has grown up — and both can be manipulated — and be USED to manipulate their core followers.
I’m thankful that some folk have iron guts and can enter the evil den to see what the 0bots are up to.
